OK. No trouble with clients dying of SIGPIPE? I could never reproduce
the bug, but both users who reported problems used ldap, and I don't
have an LDAP server to test against, so I thought it might be specific
to LDAP.
I had never heard of it until now but it looks as though I could have used
it several times in the past.
We should have people announce new features just like new committers.
"Hi, my name is nscd, I cache data that is accessed through the nsswitch
system.... etc."
FYI: If you've ever used a Solaris box then you've used without knowing it.
Solaris has used nscd by default the last 16 years - since Solaris 2.5
And yes it serverely speeds up nameservice lookups on large
installations wheter it be plain files, NIS, NIS+, LDAP ot the like...
